"Back to the emperor, the minister has already calculated that if you want to build this road and complete the water diversion project, it will only take a year, but the silver will cost a lot, at least five million taels of silver."

Chu Xue heard the meaning of Jin Zanli's words, and continued to reply without hurry.

She came to the saint today, and the debriefing was just a reason, and what she said now was the focus of her trip.

If it weren't for the fact that the project was too big and involved Suizhou outside her fiefdom, otherwise she could have raised and built it by herself, and she only needed to write a letter, so there was no need to be so troublesome.

After all, Shucheng is her fiefdom, she is the lord of Shucheng, and Shucheng is autonomous, maybe the emperor doesn't think so, but in fact, from the moment he gave the title, Shucheng is indeed her territory, unless she, the Marquis of Jinyu, commits a big thing, and the emperor can order the fief and title to be recovered.

In fact, the Zhizhou, which the court is now sending to the city, has no right to govern, only the right to supervise and supervise, and this regulatory power is limited to watching her for the court to see if she has any objections.

The garrison only needs to pay tribute to the imperial court according to the prescribed amount of money every year.

In the past three years, she has turned a blind eye, but it doesn't mean that she, the Golden Jade Marquis, is really just a reputation ornament.

I also hope that the emperor and the prince of heaven will understand this as soon as possible.

Looking at the first snow at this moment, Jin Zanli's eyes deepened a little, and even Jin Juetian had a straight face.

She...

This former Dayuan princess!

Jin Zanli stared, Chu Xue was still calm and calm, under the power of heaven, the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, how many people could do it like her? It's pretended, and it's enough to make Kim Chan-ri look sideways.

seems to be soft and weak, but at this moment, she has such a bearing!

"The minister knows that at the beginning of the founding of Dahao, he ordered to live with the people's livelihood and reduce the burden of the country for three years, so now the treasury is not abundant, the court has hardly moved any major projects in the past three years, even if some projects are imminent, the court can only repair it temporarily, and it can be slowed down, five million taels for the imperial court, it is indeed too burdensome, so the minister has a discussion, the most profitable in this matter is the people of the city, this silver, can not be all burdened by the court, the minister knows that the whole world is not the king's land, but after all, the city is a fief given by the emperor to the ministers, If you don't pay taxes directly to the imperial court, the emperor cherishes the people of Shucheng, and the minister thinks that there will be a lot of resistance in the court, and the people of Shucheng can't rely on the imperial court, so the silver and two military cities needed to build the road are borne by themselves, and the silver and two imperial courts and Shucheng that lead water into Suizhou each bear a part, in addition, the imperial court also needs to coordinate Suizhou-related matters, and the imperial court only needs to bear one million taels of silver. ”

Of course, judging from the actual situation of the imperial treasury at present, this million taels should be taken out by the imperial court within a year, and I am afraid that there will be many criticisms, and now all ministries are in short supply of silver, and it is difficult for the emperor to allocate it at one time, and there will be opinions in various places, because there are indeed places in other places that urgently need to be started.

But if the city is willing to offset it with the annual offering, it is equivalent to bearing all the silver taels, then the court will have no opinion.

It's just that business has to be negotiated step by step, isn't it?

Hearing this, Jin Juetian knew her true purpose for entering the palace today.

She's always so unexpected, I'm afraid she's been thinking about it for a long time.

"What Jin Yuhou mentioned, benefiting the country and the people, is a great reputation, Jin Yuhou has this idea is also impressed, but... Five million taels is still a heavy burden for the imperial court, dare to ask Jin Yuhou, how can the land on the side of the city be supported? ”

In the last two sentences, Kim Chan-ri couldn't help but aggravate his tone, this question seems simple, but it is actually difficult to answer, and if one is not good, it is easy to get into trouble.

Jin Juetian looked at Chu Xue quietly and still didn't say anything, because he also wanted to know her answer.

Perhaps, this is also the answer to her three years of travel.

"Back to the emperor, five million taels is also an immeasurable number for the small Shucheng, but there is a good saying, there is nothing difficult in the world but afraid of people with hearts, as long as the emperor promises the minister to build roads and water conservancy in the city, the minister can make a military order, and these two things can be completed in a year."

"Military order! What is the duration of one year? ”

"Yes!"

"What if not?"

"Leave it to your disposal!" She, the Marquis of Jin Yu, the fiefdom of the city, the emperor was afraid that he was reluctant to give it, and he wished he could take it back openly, she believed that the emperor would agree.

"Jin Yuhou is really bold, a year period, even the imperial court does not dare to pack tickets, Jin Yuhou, do you know that the king has no jokes, once I respond, if you can't do it, this military order is not for fun."

Jin Zanli still gave a gentleman's advice, this is obviously impossible, if he responds to it, it seems that he, the emperor, is in danger of others, although the other party is self-inflicted.

"Your Majesty, as long as you are willing to respond to this matter, the minister will dare to make this military order!"

"Jin Yuhou, one million taels, the household department does not have this budget this year, and the one-year period is to build roads and water conservancy, and the imperial court does not have so much manpower and material support, Jin Yuhou is dedicated to the people of the fiefdom, the emperor has already understood, this matter can be discussed later."

Jin Juetian finally spoke, and his attitude was clear, intending to end the topic for her.

It seems that not only the emperor, but also Jin Juetian also feels that what Chu Xue said is a little unrealistic.

"Don't blame the Marquis of Jin Yu, our prince has spoken like this on this day, and his words are straighter, but it is also a fact, the court is indeed unable to allocate one million taels to the city, so it is better to discuss this matter later." Although Jin Zanli wanted to respond, he also felt that it was too child's play, if he used this to take back the fief and title, it seemed that it was a little unreasonable, and besides, the Prince of Heaven had obvious intentions to protect each other, just that.

"The minister knows that it is indeed difficult to ask the court to suddenly add a large amount of expenses, so the minister thought of a way, this million taels does not need to be allocated by the court, and it can be deducted in three or five years to pay tribute to the city, so the court should not have too many opinions."

For the project of five million, the imperial court will bear a total of one million taels, and this million does not need to be given to the present, and it will be deducted in the tribute year of the city, and it will be deducted from the imperial court, whether it is to build roads or water conservancy, it is a century-old plan for the benefit of the country and the people.

"What does Jin Yuhou mean, this million imperial court does not need to pay cash, and all expenses are borne by the city for the time being?"

"Yes!"

"Really?"

Jin Zanli only felt that the woman in front of him was really arrogant, he heard that she was in business, but as far as he knew, it was impossible for her to take out five million taels to do such a big thing, not to mention, the businessman was profit-seeking, what did she do have to do with her business?

What is she trying to do?

What do the people want? She is a woman, even if she wins the hearts of the people, what can she do?

If she is stable today, is it too late for her to think about it?

"If you say that it is difficult to chase the horse, please ask the emperor to agree."

Chu Xue replied with a firm face.

"Jin Yuhou, think twice!" Jin Juetian wanted to pull her out of the council hall, but in front of the emperor, he could only say a second thought.

"Okay, if Jin Yuhou can do it, let alone deduct or anything, I will directly exempt Shucheng for three years, no, five years, Shucheng will not pay taxes to the imperial court for five years!"

"Please also ask Prince Tian to testify...... "Chu Xue seemed to remember that there was a person next to him.

"No, I write in person, come and wait!"

"That minister also made a military order in front of the emperor!"
